At times, the Packer’s preseason has provided beacons of hope for the Green Bay faithful. At other times, cause for concern. Preseason games often are camouflaged in basic defensive strategies that give offenses more success than they will produce in the regular season, but for new quarterbacks the preseason is still a litmus test. Jordan Love had no preseason in his rookie year.
In 2023, he played in every preseason game. In each game he showed the tools quarterbacks need to lead NFL offenses to the end zone. Now, we all know that this preseason will be ancient history in January and that succeed or fail, only the regular season will matter going forward.
What the preseason does is present opportunities for 2023 draft picks and undrafted free agents. Luckily for the Packers, they have seen excellent performances from a number of rookies. The Packers were universally panned by NFL draft pundits for drafting Sean Clifford in the 5th round.
Clifford has impressed, outplaying first round rookie QB’s and cementing his status as the backup quarterback for the Packers. Malik Heath has been a pass catching sensation, reminding many of, dare I say it, Donald Driver. Speaking of another 7th round pick, Carrington Valentine has shown he has talent above his pay grade and both defensive linemen, Colby Wooden and Carl Brooks, have made more plays than last year’s first round pick, Devonte Wyatt, made in last year’s preseason.
The rookie draft pick pass catchers have also shown promise. From second round pick Like Musgrave to 3rd round pick Jayden Reed, to last year’s rookies Doubs and Watson, pass catchers have made plays which will make final roster decisions difficult. Even the running back room has shined, with Patrick Taylor being pushed by Emanuel Wilson.
Against New England the offensive line protected well.
Zack Tom and Rasheed Walker are quietly providing confidence at tackle. If only center Josh Meyers could step up his game. Hopefully, more time with Love under center will reduce his preseason turnovers.
The first team defense has not been tested yet and first round pick Lucas Van Ness has not jumped off the tape. A big role is available for Kingsley Enagbare and the Packer defense will need him and Rasul Douglas to consistently make plays until Rashan Gary and Eric Stokes can return and play at a high level.
The final analysis has the Packers with a few questions that have not been answered this preseason, but talent has been on display and opportunities have been taken advantage of by a deep roster with talent. Now, the real test awaits.
Speaking of beacons of hope. Thank you Paul.
Careful Paul, you’re talking crazy. We all know Brian Gutekunst can’t draft passed the second round.
Last year’s 7th round draft pick Rasheed Walker is particularly impressive and is a legitimate NFL tackle. He won’t start this year with Bakhtiari at LT but it’ll be his job to lose next year. With last years 5th round pick Zach Tom starting at RT, giving you bookend tackles next season from the same draft class. Reminiscent of the 2000 draft when Wolf picked Chad Clifton in the second round and Mark Tauscher in the 7th round and played together for a decade. Throw in Watson, Doubs, Walker, Wyatt, Enagbare and that’s a great draft class.
With this years draft class of Musgrave, Reed, Kraft, Valentine, Brooks, Wooden, and Clifford, showing equal promise, you see a transformation of the roster that’s flush with young talent. With Jordan Love also showing signs of putting it all together, there’s a lot to like here and a lot to get excited about. They’ll be growing pains along the way but the future looks bright.
Wyatt hasn’t shown much, so I am not about to lump him in with the other guys, and Walker has been good at times, but he has the maturity of a 16 year old
Yes indeed, thank you Paul.

I really slacked in the last several years of trying to watch pre-season games but this year I tried to watch more. Now in a couple weeks, it matters and it is for real. I don’t make too much of it but it is often fun seeing who, as a late round pick or UDFA will get a chance to surprise, shine, and push other players. Good problems to have, right?
–
Apparently Whelan was one of those guys because Pat O’Donnell was released ($$$). Valentine and Heath surely made a case for themselves to be in the final 53 and there are several guys who you hope clear waivers to remain with the practice squad like Taylor and Wilson (because it is not likely they go with more than 2 RBs on the final 53). How many WRs actually get rostered? Five, six, even seven? That means you have to hope you can stash a couple decent prospects on the PS without them getting plucked. Clifford the Big Red Dog was a pleasant surprise after the head scratching that followed his pick. Seems like he didn’t let his mistakes define him and he should be capable at backup should he ever be needed. Hey, maybe we won’t have Royce Newman around anymore.
–
This year’s schedule isn’t bad and the division looks rather weak overall so it should bring some interesting games ahead. It may be a while until I can quit holding my breath on extra point attempts. We shall see.
Wow…looks like our resident viking fan has our offensive tackle(s) roster set for next year, before we start the regular season, this year…that’s pretty damn impressive.
Brilliant!!
“Last year’s 7th round draft pick Rasheed Walker is particularly impressive and is a legitimate NFL tackle.”
“With last years 5th round pick Zach Tom starting at RT, giving you bookend tackles next season from the same draft class.”
Brilliant!!
This is legit people, it comes from the same man who educated us Ladies on Royce Newman, this man knows a thing or two about offensive lineman.
He’s equally talented on defense also, when he repeatedly told us in the off season last year, about the Packers having a top 5 defense.
Brilliant!
Keep up the good work Princess!!
Man, do you have to respond to everything he says? Sure, he has said some mind-numbingly dumb shit, but mocking him here isn’t a good look. Tom has shown he can be a high quality player already, he was one of the top graded pass blocking OL last year. Walker, is more of a question mark to be sure, but his play thus far has been promising.
From across the Street….
Last year we were going to have a strong team because of our pre season (on paper) TOP 5 defense, and strong running game.
Anyone remember that?
I didn’t hear much Super Bowl talk, especially when you have a HOF QB who lived and died with his arm, having no proven wr’s.
Most knowledgeable fans knew we were depleted at wr and tight end. (and we are again this year, sans hopeful potential)
We were relying on 2 rookie receivers last season for Gods sake.
That isn’t exactly the formula to win a Championship.
Draft and develop be damned!!
We need our rookie wr’s to perform now!!
Kind of like we seem to need every year for awhile now.
That isn’t….draft and develop.
Larry McCarren is a well paid Packer cheerleader, you need someone to bring the kool aid, and Carry the G….McCarren is your man.
Then there are those of us who do our own thinking.
***************
Lesson#1
Remember all the last off season talk about our top 5 elite defense?
The regular season yielded the Packers 17th ranked defense.
That’s the problem with off season talk, like a lot of the comments in here.
They act like they know something.
But…most ring hollow once the regular season whistle blows and their expert opinion is proven wrong.
It’s funny how we added more #1 draft picks on defense, and now people HERE are talking the Packers having a defense that’s middle of the road.
It would be kind of ironic if they actually had a top 5 defense this season, amirite? 😎
Nobody knows anything, until…it’s proven on the field, when games matter.
FACTS MATTER
TVOR
You’re welcome
If you’re saying we wasted too much time on Aaron Rodgers, Kevin, I would agree. Jordan Love was probably ready a year ago. At least he wanted to be here and participated in the teams offseason program. While “the best QB ever” couldn’t be bothered. More interested in magic tea and book clubs. In fact, you’re on record saying we should have traded him last year to Denver and gotten even more for him. No argument there.
For years Rodgers had the best WR in the NFL in Davante Adams. How many championships did they win together? With the “best QB ever” and the league’s best WR and all you can do is tread water. This after multiple GM’s and HC’s to fix the problem. Until you realize your temperamental QB was the problem. It’s was more than time to give the kids a shot. They’re as ready as they’ll ever be.
You be skeptical Kevin. Take years to formulate an opinion and ignore what everyone else sees. In the meantime Rodgers is in New York just wishing he had Josh Myers and Royce Newman. Because with a 38 year old LT and 450 lb Mekhi Becton at RT, what could possibly go wrong? Forget the playoffs. I’m praying that putrid Jets OL can keep Rodgers upright for 65% of the season to get that 1st round pick.
“Jordan Love was probably ready a year ago.”
.
Yet, instead of Gute exuding this power over Rodgers that you always brag about and moving on to Love at the time that made the most sense, he instead gave Rodgers the biggest contract in the NFL to throw the ball to a bunch of rookies. Brilliant.
“We all know Brian Gutekunst can’t draft passed the second round.”
.
LOL, oh Tom. That’s all in the “passed.” Gutekunst is going to bring this team to the promise land as they blow “passed” San Fran and Philly on their way to the Super Bowl. Of course they wont play Rodgers and the Jets because he could never get “passed” dreamboat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
I look at the upcoming season this way. Love looked just as good as Rodgers in the preseason, but Rodgers is/was far, far more accurate. Personally I think Love will be average at best. His first season starting, Rodgers had three Pro Bowl receivers plus James Jones and Jermichael Finley, Love has a bunch of unknowns. The Packers had a solid kicker during Rodgers first year, Love has an unknown. We want to believe the Packers defense will be better this year, but the pass rush won’t be there with Gary’s injury and the safety situation, bad last year, will be worse. And yet, Rodgers only won 6 games his first season. Given Love’s situation, I think he will win 3 games. And the problem for the Packers will be, do they keep Love, who probably won’t look like he can carry the team alone, or do they want to draft a new QB. Because I think there’s a good chance they’ll have the first pick in the draft.
Rodgers only won six games primarily because of the inept defense. Sound familiar?
Rodgers had one thing going for him.
The GM, didn’t let the wr and tight end room go bankrupt for Rodgers 1st season starting.
Today, the Packers act like being a young, inexperienced team is somehow the new cool way to manage a roster.
Arch…..The 6-10 Packers had a +39 point differential.
I think they could have easily been 10-6, or better.
They had 7 losses of 4 points or less
The Packer defensive scoring was 22nd in the league.
This was the beginning of the end for Bob Sanders.
TVOR
When i say, young and inexperienced. A lot of that has to do with missing on draft picks.
Which in turn makes a team rely on rookies to be productive, which has come to be the yearly normal concerning the Packers.
Draft and develop? lol
How many players did the Packers draft and develop from the 2018 draft?
I’ll give you a hint…ZERO
Alexander was better his rookie season than most veterans in the NFL, he didn’t need to be developed, in it’s truest sense.
The chiefs had a lot of rookies play roles in their super bowl run. In a league with this thing called a salary cap where you are paying a QB 20% of it, you are going to have to have a fair amount of players, especially rookies playing key roles. I seem to remember Bulaga, Starks, Burnett (before he got hurt),and Shields playing large roles in 2010 as rookies.
This team actually sort of reminds me of the 08 team, at least in terms of youth. If I remember right, that team might have been the youngest in the league. That team, as PF4L alluded to, was probably better than their record. They lost a lot of close games, which is sort of typical for young teams. A large portion of NFL games are close, and a lot of times it comes down to a play here and there where a “rookie mistake” is made. It’s going to be an interesting ride to say the least. The biggest thing I want to see this year is growth and improvement, whether they win 12 games or 5. They aren’t supposed to be great this year, but it would be kind of awesome if they play above expectations
We had a four game win streak because of the emergence of Christian Watson on offense , Keisean Nixon in the return game, and 8 turnovers in four games by the much improved defense. During that impressive stretch “the best QB ever” averaged 215 yards a game, one touchdown and one interception. Aaron Rodgers was essentially just along for the ride. I get it, the defense underachieved and Joe Barry better bring his A game this year. But at least they got better as the season progressed. Aaron Rodgers never did. And he’s played that way since the loss to the 49ers in the playoffs. I see a 39 year old QB who isn’t what he once was.
So tell me Cheese, what part of Rodgers below average season could Jordan Love not accomplish last season? Is it the 215 yards per game? The 11 interceptions? Or the average at best 1.5 TD’s per game? Rodgers set the bar pretty low last year. The gap between the two QB’s is less than you think. And you don’t get all the bullshit with Jordan Love. Just a kid that wants to play. No drama, no trust issues, no book clubs. When we were 4-8, I said let’s start Love, let’s see what we have. Patrick Mahomes just wins Championships. What does Aaron Rodgers win Cheese? Nothing of importance. But that’s ok, it’s not his fault.
Let me explain how simple economics work. When you insist on taking up a third of your team’s salary cap and then have to pay the 52 remaining players what’s left. Don’t bitch about the WR’s. For seven seasons Aaron Rodgers had the best WR in the game. What did he do with it? Other than stat whore, not much.
I’ll take the over on three wins Deepsky. I watched Justin Fields last preseason start and I was shocked at how bad he was. Now maybe the light comes on week one but he was locking on receivers, late with reads, and missing throws. He had a couple of nice runs but he won’t stay healthy if running is all he has to offer. I gave him a mulligan last year because he had virtually nothing to work with. But I’m not so sure Chicago wins three games. I say 9 or 10 wins is doable for the Packers. If Jordan Love can just execute LaFleur’s offense and everyone stays healthy.
In Goobers last two comments, Tommi only mentioned Rodgers name 10 times.
I think congratulations are in order.
Therapy must be working.
In 5 years, is it possible he may not even mention Rodgers name….at all?…..PROGRESS!!
Just read an article on another site regarding dead money hits this year. $57.1 million. Wow.
–
Now a big chunk ($40,313,570) goes to someone they gave a huge contract to because, well – someone else was apparently ready. $7,950,000 goes the Adrian Amos, $3,007,895 to Dean Lowry, $1,492,000 to Jarren Reed, $1,391,668 to Randall Cobb, $1,050,000 to Marcedes Lewis, $1,005,000 to Mason Crosby (still on speed dial), $500,000 to Robert Tonyan, and, this one floored me, $461,782 to Amari Rodgers. Yes, GB still owes Amari Rodgers a pretty good chunk of change. Put it in a bag and toss it up above his head and see if he can catch it without dropping it. When GB plays the Queens (Lowry) and Bears (Tonyan) they’ll be paying those double dippers, twice.
–
The money situation is said to have played into keeping Whelan over O’Donnell as well. Good news is, the money is tight for just this year but there’s still people expecting big paydays going forward. Still think this year isn’t a rebuild?
–
It is because of this money situation that I really truly hope Jordan Love is beyond just good enough, like a lot of fans seem to be content with. I want him to be way above average. Because just being an average NFL starting QB pays very large and his rookie contract is essentially gone. Yeah, this year is a cheap year for him and the team but going into the future he makes bank if he plays well enough (even average well enough). A lot of posts I’ve read around different sites seem to have the opinions of 1) He’ll suck and bust or 2) He’ll play well enough in this offense. I disagree in that I don’t think he’ll out and out suck. I think he’s being put into a somewhat tough position with all the young receivers so any “suck” is on the unit and the coaching. But if he’s only average, competent, capable or whatever middle of the road moniker somebody assigns, that won’t be good enough for future salary implications to building the team going into the future years. Hanging onto average and over-paying average is not a great option for a team either. Here’s hoping.
Now a big chunk ($40,313,570) goes to someone they gave a huge contract to because, well – someone else was apparently ready.
“We are looking forward now, that was in the passed” – Brian Gutekunst
FYI….He’s this season, and next season.
They negotiated a pay cut with Love on a 1 year deal, saved 7 million, instead of giving him his 5th year option @ 20.7 million.
Keep in mind, a 1 year deal. Why not a five year deal?
It’s cheaper to do it now, right?
So….why didn’t they?
Hmmm
He was ready a year ago…lol
So they offered Rodgers all that money, then negotiated a pay cut for Love.
Yes, the Packers are showing they have all the confidence in the world with Love.
All thanks to the brilliant management of Murphy, Gute and Ball. Some individuals on here think this group is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Me, not so much. Nobody forced them to give out these bloated contracts to average and has been players.
In 2025 the Packers supposedly we’ll have huge amounts of salary cap available. That is, if we don’t resign to Love to some giant contract, which they will unless he’s absolutely terrible. But I don’t think he’ll be terrible, he has some good qualities, such as knowing the offense really well, knowing where to put the ball, he does so quickly and ok accuracy within 10-15 yards. I just think he’ll turn it over a lot and this will lose games for the Packers. A lot of the INTS won’t even be his fault, they’ll be the fault of the young receivers running wrong routes or tipping the ball into air. His passing yards will fall into the average range but he’ll be near tops in the league in turnovers. And even though a lot of this will have to do with his passing inaccuracy, everyone will blame the receivers batting the ball up or a bad offensive line or dropped passes and as a result, they’ll resign him to a giant contract and front load it, taking up the cap space. And the Packers will have an average at best QB for the next 10 years as we keep saying “He’ll be better next year” and “If only we surrounded him with more talent”. I pretty much have Packer future figured out, LOL.
Maybe they’ll be smart about it and keep offering him 1 year contracts at a reduced salary.
Like they just did.
Until Gute finds his next ‘can’t miss’ he targets 7 months before the draft.
If he isn’t let go before that. 2025 is creeping up quickly
I should have added, this was the reason I thought Mark Murphy’s comments were so damn stupid when he said – we’d know what kind of QB Jordan Love is by November. No, based on the youth of this team and the position groups, Jordan Love needs a good fair year of playing at starter for a fair evaluation.
–
I don’t look at this team with all the youth movement as a way of validating the drafting. Sure, lots of draft picks of the last two years are on the roster and maybe they did finally hit on some good picks. Well, no kidding, you ran the team out of money you can’t help but play the younger players.
–
It is a rebuild by whatever name you decide to call it.
So which is it ladies? Is Aaron Rodgers the “best QB ever” like you all love to tell each other and therefore worthy of his contract? Or is he a glorified Kirk Cousins and fleeced the organization out of tens of millions? Because you can’t have it both was. Dead money is the price of doing business when you have a two time MVP with a roster full of high priced veterans and you want to keep the band together for one more run. It didn’t work out. If Rodgers showed just half the interest in the Packers offseason program last year as he did the Jets offseason program, maybe things would have been different. If Rodgers had his epiphany last year before he signed his contract extension. When he came to the realization maybe it’s not in the teams best interest for me to squeeze every last dollar out of the salary cap. Maybe I should take less so my GM can get me some help. Like Mahomes, Brady, Hurts, and others do. Things could have been different. But he didn’t do that. He was petty and vindictive. And thru his mouthpiece Pat McAfee said he would put the organization’s “feet to the fire” for drafting Jordan Love. Essentially cutting off his nose to spite his face.
So we all actually agree here. Aaron Rodgers isn’t worth his contract. He’s old and washed up. He can’t move in the pocket and misses too many throws. Jordan Love can just as easily go 8-9, throw a mere 26 TD’s, and not get embarrassed by Detroit not once, but twice. And this team will do it for a fraction of the cost of last years team making this year’s one time dead money hit pointless.
All of you Brian Gutekunst haters love to tell each other he can’t draft. Except of course he can draft, this roster is full of young talent that needs to play. And it’s getting harder and harder to ignore that fact. So you stall, and say you need to see more to formulate an opinion. Fair enough, take your time Captain Obvious.
Unable to play the draft incompetence card, you’ve all transitioned to the salary cap card. Specifically dead money most of which comes from “the best QB ever.” You love to tell each other what hard asses you are and you never would have given Rodgers that contract extension. In reality, not only would you’ve gladly given him all that money, you would have all stood inline to blow him just to get him to stay. Now that’s true love..
I’d suggest you get some help, you certainly need it. The only one on here fixated with Aaron Rodgers is you. He is gone. Time for you to move on.
If he hasn’t moved on by now 🙄
He doesn’t know anything else to discuss except Rodgers, it’s what he and his social awkwardness appeared as ‘killer’ and it’s what he did as Tommi, while Rodgers was still here…and it’s what he’ll continue to do, because he doesn’t KNOW anything else….(as i predicted after last season.
When people read his post…don’t tell me everyone isn’t thinking the same thing…”man, you need to get back on your meds”.
I’m not saying that to be mean, i’m saying that because it’s exactly how his comments read.
Anti social behavior, with hate obsession.
Most likely brought to the surface by his hunger for attention.
What other take away does anyone get?
Seriously….
I’m old enough to remember the Packers prior to Favre. I remember, prior to 1986 (reading Ray Nitchke’s Packer Report and the Sentinel) the hopes of Randy Wright. Like Love, Wright had played in a few games backing up Dickey and looked decent. I remember him tearing it up in the preseason. In real games though, as a starter with teams actually game planning him, he was crap. He was losing games by like 4 scores. He literally had a 0 QB rating in a game he started. He started out throwing 8 interceptions to 1 TD.
The point is, you never know what you have in a QB until he’s the guy.
I remember reading the Journal/Sentinel sports page daily. By daily meaning, if i missed reading it (especially Packer articles), i felt like i robbed myself.
When Randy Wright was QB, i would gringe.
My most instant memory of him, is when playing the Bears. the ball would be snapped, and the bears Def. line rush would be coming in.
Sometimes, Wright would literally go down to the ground in a fetal position before they even got to him.
I couldn’t stand him. Needless to say he wasn’t in the NFL very long.
Before that was Lynn Dickey who i loved watching. With the likes of Ivery, Ellis, Coffman, Lofton, and JJ.
The Bears vaunted ’46’ defense was really just about taking out opposing offensive players, especially the quarterback. Put 6 or 7 guys on the line and go after the QB. This would become apparent years later when it was found that Buddy Ryan put bounties on players heads. An ex Buddy Ryan player said the few hundred-dollar bounties that was reported was wrong….it was ten thousand dollar bounties. In 1985, the Bears Super Bowl season, the Bears defense took out 5 quarterbacks, including both Dickey and Wright, so that Jim Zorn had to play QB for the Packers against the Bears. Not hard to have great defensive stats when you’re playing against 3rd string quarterbacks. That Bears defense caused Dickey, who had already broken his leg and dislocated hip, to basically quit on the team. I think the Packers knew about the bounties…and that’s what lead to the Charles Martin situation in 1986. It was the Packers doing the same thing the Bears had done to them in 1985.
So basically none of you will tell me that the “best QB ever” was worth his contract extension. Only complain that Gutekunst gave him one. Got it.
Brian Gutekunst’s job is to put a competitive product on the field now with an eye towards the future 2 or 3 years down the road when players age, contracts, and salary cap dictate necessary roster changes. This is what facilitated the pick of Jordan Love. This deeply offended Aaron Rodgers and many of you. It’s an emotional response to the hard reality that the end comes to everyone in the NFL, even Aaron Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers is going to find out in New Your what Davante Adams came to the conclusion in Las Vegas. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Because Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, and Randall Cobb are no better than Davante Adams, Allen Lazard, and Randall Cobb. Rodgers is now finding out that his OL now is far and away the worst he’s ever had in his 16 year career and the division and conference are brutal. Both the Jets and the Raiders are poorly run organizations. The Packers are not. Even though you’ll habitually complain about it.
The only one declaring Rodgers the “best QB ever” on this site is you. Gutekunst gave him that big fat contract after trading up to draft his replacement in the first round. Once you do that there is no way you give a QB that contract unless you have no faith in the guy you drafted to replace him. That’s why everyone is complaining Gutekunst gave Rodgers that contract. Are you really that dense that you can not figure that out?
“This deeply offended Aaron Rodgers….”
“Aaron Rodgers is going ………”
” Rodgers is now finding…………”
“………………. everyone in the NFL, even Aaron Rodgers.”
*
Because….he’s ready to ‘move on’….lol
Then you agree with me Arch, both Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady are superior to Aaron Rodgers.
That “big fat contract” had no bearing on the ability to trade Aaron Rodgers. In fact, we got what’s looking like two first round picks and a second rounder for a 39 year old QB still owed 100 million. That “big fat contract” isn’t preventing the Packers from being competitive this year because we still have promising Jordan Love playing for next to nothing on a revised rookie deal. You see Arch, it better to have two QB’s than to have NO QB. Things can change rather quickly in the NFL. Especially at the most important position. The best GM’s have a plan. Brian Gutekunst had a plan. If Jordan Love can play, and it’s looking like he can, then no one will give a rats ass about that contract. You and the boys will have to find something else to bitch about…
Yes, and then leave you to CONTINUE to bitch about Rodgers on a daily basis . . .
That’s right MMSUCKS. As long as you, Kevin, Cheese, and the rest continue to blame Rodgers failures on Brian Gutekunst, Mark Murphy, Kevin King, and whoever else you can pull out your ass, I’ll be here as the voice of reason. I’m ready to move on and get behind our new QB. How about you?
^Pathetic P O S^

“The best GM’s have a plan. Brian Gutekunst had a plan.” – Nancy
.
Yep…
Plan (A) When, being one game away from the SB, give up on your team and trade up for a QB to sit on the bench….COUGH
PLAN (B) Watch the QB who you thought was ‘losing it’, throw 85 TDS and 9 interceptions, while winning two MVP’s…..OOPS
Plan (C) Provide that QB with the richest contract in NFL history 2 years after drafting your 1st round QB you traded up for that is still sitting on the bench (next to various other 1st round picks)….RUH ROH
PLAN (D) Keep drafting defensive players in the first round hoping to sustain that coveted 17th overall defense….GUTE!!
PLAN (E) Show your new starting QB you have confidence in him by giving him a new one year deal at 7 million less than giving him his 5th year option. Explaining to him that the NFL….is a business.
PLAN (F) Show your new starting QB that you’re setting him up to succeed by giving him new wr’s and tight ends who have never played a down in the NFL.
Also sprinkling in two 1 year ‘veteran’ receivers to balance it all out…DRAFT AND DEVELOP (on the field as rookies).
Don’t forget to pick up Gutes new book…Drafting and Developing…for Dummies.
But not to worry, as Mark Murphy told us, our 8 1st round draft choice defensive players will be there to save the day….COUGH.
It sounds to me like you’re the one struggling to move on if you’re still marveling at Rodgers 85 TD’s and 9 INT’s, Kevin. You left out the ZERO championships during those peak stat whoring years. But that’s OK Kevin, we’ll blame Brian Gutekunst for drafting Kevin King for that. Even though that never happened.
You all realize if Jordan Love is the real deal, no one will remember or care about Rodgers contract extension. No one will remember or care about his stats. No one really cares now because the vast majority of Packer fans were more than ready to move on from the always exhausting Rodgers. They’re excited about this team and our new QB. Jordan Love on his worst day is no Scott Hunter or Jerry Tagge. So I’d hold off on the return to the 70’s and 80’s nonsense while you’re at it. There’s young talent everywhere on this roster. Which no one is complaining about but you. You need more time because you don’t know what the fuck you’re looking at and need someone to tell you what you’re seeing. No surprise there.
Know who else marveled at Rodgers 85TD’s and 9 interceptions?
If you’re a Packer fan, you did!!
SKOL!!!
